X-Men Slots to the Fore

0 Comments   Email   Print

The movie X-Men: First Class released in the United Kingdom and the United States earlier this month. It will release in several other countries later this week. X-Men: First Class is a prequel to the earlier X-Men movies. That should have generated significant interest but the reports are that the collections though decent are nothing to rave about. There are two Marvel branded X-Men slot games at online casinos. The first one is based on Marvel Comics and has been released by the software provider Cryptologic. The other is the Playtech slot game based on Marvel Movies. Surprisingly neither Cryptologic online casinos nor Playtech online casinos are holding promotions linked to X-Men. However, players are celebrating on their own by wagering on these two X-Men slots.

The Cryptologic X-Men slot was the first to be released. The symbols are mostly characters from the X-Men legend. The X-Men are Xavier, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Night Crawler, Rogue and Gambit. The Brotherhood of Mutants is led by Magneto and includes Mystique and Sabretooth. The highlight of Cryptologic X-Men is the bonus game on the second screen. This is a battle between the player's chosen super hero and an adversary. The one whose life meter gets depleted first loses. If the super hero loses then the player wins a consolation award equal to the triggering bet. If the superhero wins then he gets an award based on the amount of life left in his or her life meter. X-Men is networked to the Marvel Slots three level progressive jackpot. The jackpots are hit randomly but the chance of hitting them is greater with larger wagers. The Cryptologic X-Men slot game can be played at online casinos like InterCasino and VIP Casino.

The Playtech X-Men is of more recent origin. This slot also features characters from X-Men as symbols on the reels. The X-Men are Professor Xavier, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm and Cyclops. Magneto, Mystique, Sabretooth and Juggernaut are from the Brotherhood of Mutants. The animations are more exciting as they display the super powers of each character. The X Feature pays 5 times the total bet when only super heroes occupy the five positions on reels 2, 3 and 4 that form an X. The Free Games feature has the Heroes mode and the Villains mode, and it toggles between them. The game begins in the Heroes mode, but when Magneto appears on reel 3 the game switches to the Villains mode. In the Villain mode when Xavier appears on reel 3 then the game switches to the Heroes mode. Playtech X-Men is linked to the four level Marvel Mystery Jackpot. Playtech X-Men can be played at online casinos like Grand Palace, Omni Casino and Casino Tropez.
